"Attention, About-face"

If God was good enough to get your attention, then respond to Him by repenting of your sins and turn back to Him. Return to your first love.....Remember when you first gave your life to Christ. Remember the "he'll hold" He rescued you from that you couldn't see no way out of but God reached down and grabbed you. What should have killed you and destroyed you God used to strengthen your trust in Him. He didn't say this Faith walk would be easy but He promised to always be there and love you every step of the way. He didn't take you out of the world but the day you believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit enabling you to overcome adversities in life just as your Elder Brother, Jesus the Christ did when he suffered in his earthly ministry.

At some point along the journey you either got tired, you either got stuck, you either got distracted, you either gave into temptation, but you can about-face and turn back to your first love. The same sin he delivered you from, because for whatever reason you didn't trust God in the situation, your fellowship was broken but God is only a step away from freedom and forgiveness. He is one step from deliverance.

He wont force himself on you but he has a compelling way of getting our attention because no matter how far we have fallen, He still wants us. He alone knows how we tick and what we need to fill those empty spaces, those voids He promised to fill but somehow we switched roles--instead of allowing God to Potter to do his job, we, the clay took it upon ourselves to mold and fashion ourselves according to the ways of the world.

We know when we get alittle too beside ourselves when we begin to think that we can do God's job instead of trusting in Him and His Word. We know when we get ahead of ourselves, when we start telling mama and daddy what we are going to do instead of honoring them and trusting they have our best interest at heart. Yes, if we be honest, we've all got to the point when we think we know more than our earthly parents, but when we treat God the same, Lord help us because we all have truth be told or sin wouldn't be our issue.

Turn to your neighbor and say, however, however, God like a good father won't give up on you. He will speak a word to get your attention. He's got your specific number. That's right, He knows exactly what buttons to push in order to let you know it's time to fall back in line. It's time to turn away from your destructive ways because all your plans are further leading you away from my will for your life.

Turn back beloved and remember from when you first believed. When you thought no one knew about your secret sins and life outside of the church. God knew and he knows now what sins you are currently living in.

Decide today whether you are going to continue to be knee deep in your sin, the same sin my Son died on the cross for, the same Christ that you said you were so grateful for because you recognized after hearing the Good News you were not deserving and yet He died while you were yet a sinner.

God showed forth his mercy and offered the free gift of grace when there ought to have been punishment. Therefore, let us turn back to our first love. God said let us reason together  even though our sins are red as scarlet, He promised to make our sin as white as snow.

If God is knocking on the door of your heart, if he has gotten your attention, dont get mad, you don't even have to acknowledge this post by pressing "like". This is between you and the Lord. If this message is for you, God is waiting with open arms. Anyone willing to turn back to him or anyone desiring to accept Him by faith in his Son for the forgiveness of sins he will in no wise turn you away.

I hope this blesses someone and encourages them to turn back to their first Love......not their man, not their woman, not their money, not their job or their positions, but the Lord thy God.

Attention, About-face!
Writing With Christ In Mind.....

I heard it said once that people don't evangelize because they are too concerned about their finances. Instead of concerning ourselves with our finances, we need to make our trust in God a priority. Outside of God we will never have enough or be satisfied: therefore, we ought to totally rely upon the strength of God who is our Source and promised that we would not go without lack nor seed begging for bread. I've tried God at His word. There was a time I needed $500 and God laid me on the heart of someone and said, "God laid you on my heart to be a blessing to." The "things" we spend time worrying about that would potentially take our minds off of doing the work of God, God is already working that situation out for you. You just have to trust Him and continue in the work while you wait for Him to fulfill that which He promised. Now, if you haven't accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior then these promises do not apply to you but are available because Jes...
Diamonds, Starting over can be a very humbling experience but one you should not resist. Its all apart of the process for God to make all things new in our lives. Being afforded the opportunity to have a fresh new start, or afforded the opportunity to blossom in a new pot of dirt speaks to both the grace and the goodness of God. Regardless of whatever your yesterday dictatated to you, the moment God allowed you to start over should keep your focus foward. You can't drive and arrive at your destination looking backwards. Besides, that chapter is over. Finished! Where God is leading you is full of promise and the production of fruit that will last. Get ready for your later days to be greater because you are no longer your past! Walk in the confidence of God knowing He will never lead you where He is not and  He has your best interest in mind! Be Blessed & know since you have a reason to shine (because God resides on the inside of you) let your light shine so that others may...

Taking It Lying Down!

Diamonds, What do you do when your being mistreated? Insults being hurled at you? People talking about you? Lie on you? Mistreat you all the while they tell you that they love you, are for you, and smile in your face; thinking of new ways to manipulate you in order to further use you to their benefit with no plans of giving you credit.  But God is awesome in that He will open your eyes to their evil and diabolical schemes toward you; it may appear that you are passively resisting but in the spirit, you are actively praying unto God regarding the situation. You are asking and inviting God into the situation; He is the One who is with you and will go to bat for you all while it may appear that you are taking things lying down .  There is no need to make it public because God has a way of making spectacles out of devils or the devils that some allow to control them. He did just that when His Son died on the cross at Calvary. He did not come down , all the while it app...
